Eldorazo Stickyfingers's page

Ok, so that's all the players like the game so far... Well, that's good.

Nobodies desperate enough to volunteer for 3 just yet.
I hear no votes for 2 just yet. Revisit the issue in a week or so assuming we haven't heard from MathPro?

The worst part is that I liked this character a lot...

I hope we resume in the future.

Options,

Getting on to 2 weeks (it'll be 2 weeks exactly on the 31st). Not good.

Ok, we haven't seen Mathpro since Tuesday. Do we have a serious problem here, and if so, what do we do?

Eldorazo is here and alive, and waiting for the promised meeting with the headmaster ...

Oh I don't think that bill is necessary Eldorazo but it did make me laugh out loud

Byron and Eldorazo sense that what the girl is saying is true but she is clearly holding things back. She seems intimidated by the dwarven woman.

What do you think the workname "Stickyfingers" came from?

Addressing Seska Eldorazo says "I'm sure that you can elaborate a bit more.",
Bluff to pass a secret message: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25 DC 15 for a simple she's holding stuff back.

Then he turns to "Fantomas" (I think it's Byron who's actually present right now), "You're the wizard, cross the check the arcane details please", and finally intercepts the secretary, guiding her away, back to her office, so she won't inhibit Seska's testimony, "Now then madame, Seska's in Adonis's capable hands. This meeting was supposed to be at noon sharp, and I have been waiting for almost half an hour. ("Three hours to retrieve Adonis...") , and further of course, there is the matter of my bill for services rendered...", gesturing with his partially written bill as he diverts her.

bluff to distract and divert the secretary: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Listening to the girl's story:
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

While listening, Eldorazo asks the secretary if he can borrow a pen and some paper.
diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Assuming that he gets the pen and paper

He then begins to compose:

"Ok, Fantomas, Adonis, both of you knew what this thing is, expanded details please... Also, is it time to interrupt the headmaster and ask for some answers?"

"Let me take care of her." Adonis gently shoves the others away and places his right palm on her hip.

[dice=Lay on hands] 8d6+6

Let's hope, it's not too late..."

I think you might need a breath of life effect... She was unconscious (presumably <0 HP), and ate a ray of cold energy - if memory serves, retriever energy rays are 10d6 or more...

Round 1 Wrap up:

....Seeing the student start moving the spider will shoot a ray of energy at her. Her skin gets deathly cold as shards of ice pelt her body...

Damn, I was hoping to put the thing down before it got to kill the student...

Eldorazo will retrieve his thrown blades and search the thing's remains for any clues about who sent it (and/or treasure).

Perception: 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 5 = 44
+20 Skill +5 lens of detection

Hey guys just wanted to pop by with a bit of an update. I ended up being gifted a day off today so I won't be able to advance the story til tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for your patience.

Have fun with your day off.

Eldorazo will attempt to snipe it, using Master Sniper to attack twice with thrown daggers, then moving 30' along the left flank (my error, Master Sniper is a full round action) 5' stepping to the left using Hide in Plain Sight.

Dagger 1 to hit: 1d20 + 9 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 17 vs flat footed AC -6 (-6 from debilitating injury: disoriented)
+9 bab +6 Dex -2 one range increment (20') -2 master sniper +1 PBS
Damage Dagger 1: 1d4 + 6 + 12 + 6d6 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 12 + (1, 1, 4, 1, 2, 6) + (8) + 1 = 46
1d4 dagger +6 dex + 12 sniper goggles + 6d6 sneak + 1d8 sudden strike+1 PBS

Dagger 2 to hit: 1d20 + 9 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 21 vs flat footed AC -6 (-6 from debilitating injury: disoriented)
+9 bab +6 Dex -2 one range increment (20') -2 master sniper +1 PBS
Damage Dagger 2: 1d4 + 6 + 12 + 6d6 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 12 + (3, 3, 6, 3, 6, 3) + (1) + 1 = 46
1d4 dagger +6 dex + 12 sniper goggles + 6d6 sneak + 1d8 sudden strike +1 PBS

And a stealth check for sniping at no penalty
Stealth: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 28 + 2 = 32
+28 skill +2 Competence (Catburglar's Boots)

Anyone know if the advanced template changes your touch ac? It says +4 to ac but...

Give it to it... You realize that it's short it's dex (unless it has uncanny dodge) because we haven't done init yet.

The template does make it pretty much impossible for me to put the thing down before it gets to go...

Edit: If you are using the rebuild rules for the Advanced template, +2 AC from natural armor (wouldn't affect touch) and +2 to AC from increasing dex by +4 (which would affect NA, except that it's flat footed as this is before init...)

Wanting to give you a heads up that I'll probably going to have to start the google slides doc at home which means it probably won't be up until Monday.

Do the init - you might not have to if the retriever's less than a 24... It's already eaten 88 dmg, and Eldorazo can potentially drop 3 more sneak attacks on it...

PS. Can Eldorazo see what the thing's reach is?

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Eldorazo also has the Quick Shot rogue talent, and can shoot with a missile weapon in hand as part of the initiative roll... He will throw the vial of acid he has in hand: "grabs an acid vial from his bandolier" and says hello!

vial of Acid to Hit: 1d20 + 9 + 6 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 6 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 18 vs touch AC, flatfooted because it is before the init roll (barring strange abilities of course)
+9 Bab,+6 Dex, +1 Trait (firebug), -2 on range increment to 20' , Point-Blank Shot

Damage from vial of acid: 1d6 + 6d6 + 1d8 + 6 + 3 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + (6, 3, 6, 1, 2, 6) + (7) + 6 + 3 + 12 + 1 = 59 X 1.5 Edit = 88
Vial of acid 1d6, 6d6 sneak attack, 1d8 sudden strike, +6 dex (Finesse Training Splash Weapons), +3 Int (Chemical Weapons ability) +12 Sniper Goggles (+2/die of sneak)+1 Point-blank shot
All multiplied by 1.5 because of precise splash (feat)

If it hits and is a sneak attacks, this will inflict debilitating injury (disoriented) and double debilitation (Bewildered) for a -2 to AC and -2 to hit (these penalties jump to -6 against Eldorazo).

Eldorazo will attempt to remain hidden while making this attack: Sniping. Eldorazo needs to make a stealth check at no penalty (this would normally be -20, but expert sniper and Rogue'e Edge : stealth combine to make that 0).

Stealth: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 28 + 2 = 44
+28 skill +2 Competence (Catburglar's Boots)

Edit: Forgot Point Blank Shot for another +1 to hit and Damage

I don't mind either.

Fantomas has pretty much summed up the tradeoffs... But to put in in perspective, I'm pretty sure that actions in the game thread have already drawn AoO's for Bjorn and Adonis (" moves between the unconscious girl and the creature" and " jumps to the unconscious woman. He feels her pulse", when it is "standing over the girl" ) , that I'm not sure they would have taken with a map...

Eldorazo stays hidden (do you want another stealth roll Mathpro?) , grabs an acid vial from his bandolier of alchemical weapons, and moves to a position about 20' from the thing...

I am pretty sure that none of Eldorazo's knowledge skill apply (Dungeoneering, Engineering, Local, Nobility), so I am not bothering to do the rolls. Again, Mathpro, if you think otherwise, let me know

...you hear a very loud explosion come from down the hall and the room visibly shakes.

As everyone starts, Eldorazo's mildly paranoid arse promptly pulls a fade...

"Your master may be a brilliant man, Byron, but has he really thought this through? The Headmaster of the Acadame is undoubtedly a wizard of utmost puissance..."

Turning to Björn, "I can honestly swear on Asmodeus's Altar that I had no part in picking trouble with the Headmaster of the Acadame, and so far, neither do you. The silliness of spying on and possibly breaking into the office of the Headmaster was all Fantomas's idea..."

Continuing to the room in general, "In the spirit of cooperation, I will note one thing. The invitation I received to participate in the festival was from the Headmaster of the Acadame; normally the festival is overseen by the dean of abjuration, and invitations come from him..."

Ok, I'm going to leave the rules argument to the GM...Although, I'm pretty sure that Sense Motive applies to an attempt to deceive someone into thinking that your familiar is in fact you...

Fantomas Sneak roll was 49.

His Decoy familiar "Can transform into a perfect likeness of its master" and "can mimic its master’s voice and intonation perfectly".
But let's say it is obvious Fantomas is in two places (for what he has already said), one Eldorazo can clearly see in front of him, an another he can't, which is "scouting" the headmaster's office.

Eldorazo definitely can't detect the real Fantomas. The question is does he believe the fake Fantomas... Rules wise, your familiar has an effective disguise check of 1d20+8 (your ranks in disguise)+3 (His charisma)+2 (Deceitful)+10 (as alter self)... Obviously, this affects what Eldorazo does next.

sense Motive on Fantomas*: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
You might want to roll a bluff check "Fantomas"

I'm pretty sure that Eldorazo beat Fantomas*'s bluff check...

Sensing a deception from "Fantomas", Eldorazo surreptitiously palms a vial of acid,
Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35

We'll see what you get for a disguise check...

Perception to hear Fantomas casting a spell next doo: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

that should be more than good enough to hear Fantomas casting; "To provide a verbal component, you must be able to speak in a strong voice."

sense Motive on Fantomas*: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
You might want to roll a bluff check "Fantomas"

Perception to penetrate Fantomas*'s disguise: 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 5 = 32
+5 for lens of detection, which is in use now that Eldorazo is suspicious. You might want to roll a disguise check, "Fantomas". Alter self gives you a +10...

Perception to detect the real Fantomas: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45

Edit: Apparently using quotes in dice expressions makes them not work (e.g "Fantomas" as opposed to using Fantomas* )

Perception to hear Fantomas casting a spell next doo: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Do I suspect the nice lady is feeding me some sort of a line?

K Local: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
What do I know about this breaching festival

K Nobility: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
What do I know about Toff Ornelos, headmaster of the Academe

I am assuming that K Nobility is the check for Headmaster Ornelos

In a bathrobe and looking slightly worn from last night's activities, Eldorazo takes the letter and reads it. In response to her invitation, Eldorazo replies "Thank you for the invitation miss, I will visit the headmaster's office at Noon, sharp".

After closing the door, he whistles and says to himself "Well this smells interesting...", and jumps to get ready. After a quick set of ablutions and grabbing his in town gear, he heads off through the streets to the Cerulean society, grabbing breakfast from street vendors along the way. Once there, he quickly makes his way to the guildmaster's office, "Boule, quickly, what do we know about the Breaching Festival, the acadame and headmaster Ornelos? Look, I have been sent an invitation to participate, tomorrow, and I meet Headmaster Ornelos, at noon, sharp.""

diplomacy, gather information: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
if you want separate checks for all 3 subjects : the breaching festival, the academe, and Toff Ornelos, let me know

After spending much of the morning (until 1130), gathering information at the Cerulean Society, Eldorazo borrows a horse from the society's stable, and hustles off to the Academe, to meet Headmaster Ornelos, invitation in hand...

Dot, thank you Mathpro

GM Mathpro, could you give us a simple dot-in gamethread so we can actually have the aliases linked to the campaign?

Bjorn looks quite solid to me. I also have UMD (+18). I also have about 1500 left for contribution to buying wand/scrolls for fill in duty...

Well, that's 2 for the bloodrager and one maybe. Bloodrager it is...

DM Mathpro, I advise a thorough look at the character sheet, especially the equipment spreadsheet.

Yeah, that's right, the equipment took a spreadsheet...

So whats everyones opinion on the blood ranger joining us to replace the fighter that dropped?

I haven't looked at the character sheet or anything, but the bloodrager is probably the closest match to the fighter that we used to have... If we are going for optimal party composition, I'd actually lean towards Ellioti 's Oracle Aja, just because of the issue I brought up at the start of this thread : "how do we handle condition removal and healing? (as a party, especially if we need to do it quickly?)"

Fantomas is on!

In fact, I was going to propose that to everyone. Also for other buff spells, you think you can use.

Do you have a natural armor effect (barkskin)? Is Overland flight practical?
